The company's activities provide benefit to children and young people, particularly receptionage and primary school children aged 5-11 through educational theatre workshops in schoolsand theatre venues. The company also provides training and professional development toteachers and educators inside and outside school.Core Activity 1: Educational Projects for ChildrenBetween 06 April 2022 and 05 April 2023 KIT Theatre C.I.C delivered educational theatreprojects to approximately 3500 pupils at Primary Schools in London, Essex and Bridlington.These projects delivered formal learning to disadvantaged pupils using the 'Adventures inLearning' format developed by company director Tom Bowtell, who wrote and directed allindividual performances.These projects combine interactive theatre, digital tools and game mechanics to createnarratives which cast participating pupils as heroes. Pupils are tasked with solving problemsand completing missions which relate to their core national curriculum topics.The work benefits pupils in the following ways:- Provides engagement for disadvantaged young people who might be struggling to engagewith learning through traditional means.- Boosts self-esteem of pupils as they are cast as heroes and feel a sense of achievement atsuccessfully completing their missions.- Offers cultural opportunities (in the form of experiencing theatre and developing pupils' owncreative talent) which many pupils do not have access to in their home lives.Core Activity 2: Training and Professional Development for teachers06 April 2022 and 05 April 2023, KIT Theatre has delivered training to 82 primary school teachers and 25 classroomassistants. These training sessions have been delivered independently and as part ofAdventures in Learning delivery in schools (see Core Activity l). These sessions offerContinued Professional Development to teachers by training them how to use immersivetheatre, simple digital tools and game mechanics to motive children to engage with learning.This work benefits teachers by:- Expanding their range of teaching techniques, enhancing their employability.- Offer teachers increased job satisfaction (helping potentially to arrest the loss of teachersfrom the profession.)- Offering them ways to bring creativity and pupil talent development into the delivery ofdemanding National Curriculum which leaves little space for extra-curricular activity inschools.Core Activity 3: Talent Development for young peopleA key part of each Adventure in Learning project is talent development: as part of each projectpupils are required to create their own story or take the lead in crafting their own piece oftheatre.This work benefits pupils by:- Providing a confidence and self-esteem boost by offering them a chance to explore anddevelop their talents.- Providing professional guidance to allow pupils to develop skills and build a foundationtowards a potential career in the arts.
KIT’s Stakeholders are:1) Funders such as Arts Council England, Paul Hamlyn Foundation & John Lyon Charity.These funders were consulted through regular reports and update conversations. All KIT’smain funders require detailed end-of-grant reporting where we share outcomes from theirfunding.2) Schools and Teachers: We begin partnerships with schools by consulting with them andtheir teacher teams to understand the needs of their pupils and particular ambitions to focusour work towards. This feedback cycle means our programme is under constantredevelopment as the environment inside schools evolves.3) Young people: We consult young people during ‘listening projects’ where we offer freecreative workshops which allow us to understand the ideas which are occupying youngpeople’s minds (such as Climate Change) and the types of stories and activities which fuelstheir imaginations. We also consult with young people following delivery as part of ourongoing research and evaluation programmes.4) Artists: We have a team of more than 35 freelance artist associates who deliver our workand we consult them following each performance to understand what worked well and whereimprovements are needed.
